World of Warcraft

Many of us have been enjoying for hours Warcraft 3 campaigns, or been touched with its history with such different characters that composed such a rich world. After many unforgettable battles at Battle.Net now you have the opportunity of living in first person in the world of Warcraft. With World of Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment has taken the great step towards the field of the games based on persistent worlds and, although being a newbie, it has excellently succeeded.

Blizzard can be proud of making really addictive games, easy to play at, and World of Warcraft is not an exception. All the efforts of the company have been directed on creating a great product not only for Warcraft fans but also for MMOG players. All details have been observed, in a game with an easy learning curve and a captivating atmosphere.

From the first moment that we began playing, atmosphere is just terrific. First we must go to character creation screen, where we will be able to choose between many races like, for example, humans, dwarfs, elves by the side of the Alliance; and undeads, orcs and trolls by the side of the Horde. Once race is chosen, customize your character, choose your career (depending on your physical attributes) and its name. After this, just enter World of Warcraft and watch an introduction that changes depending on your race and where you can see its history.Many of us have been enjoying for hours Warcraft 3 campaigns, or been touched with its history with such different characters that composed such a rich world.

Quests also evolutes with your character, becoming more difficult and being connected between them for forming elaborated plots. Sometimes, we will make more than 30 different steps until being able to finish the complete plot. In the Alliance we have the case of the missions related to the Defias brotherhood, that begins being a simple investigation of crimes and ends being a tremendous conspiracy threatening the whole world. Many of these adventures will take place at dungeons, one of the richest scenarios at World of Warcraft . All dungeons are divided in two parts, one common for all the players and the other one will be different for each group of explorers that enters the dungeon, so each group will be free to explore without having to battle PvP.

Once inside, dungeons are completely interactive, full of levers and mechanism that open you new chambers and rooms or reveal you valuable information or items Also we will find many locked doors who need thief skills to be opened, or explosive charges from an engineer, or powder and gun as happens in Deadmines. At Gnomegaran, the old city of the gnomes that now is invaded by trolls and controlled by apostatized gnomes, we will have to use of the computers to be able to access different terminals or obtaining engineering designs.

Another great thing about this game is its trading career system, easy to work with. We shall only choose two trading skills, and a good decision would be to choose two ones interconnected between them, as they can be herbalist and chemical, or miner and blacksmith for example. The way to elaborate objects is either simple, many resources are spread worldwide, in form of plants, mineral veins, animals... Harvesting resources is the first step for crafting items. At the moment, the economic market of the game is very alive, and thanks to the auction houses it is easy to practically find anything in exchange for money, of course. Resources like minerals are usually found in mines, or in random places throughout the world, although always with a direct relation with the level of the zone where they are. A character will be able to find copper in abundance in the zones of beginning of the game while obtaining gold will be done in much more dangerous territories.

Without a doubt, one of the aspects that will more fascinating for players is the conflict between the Alliance and the Horde. All World of Warcraft zones have been designed to support a great scale war and have populated fortifications for both sides. The players will be able to take part on many ways, for example in a same zone where there is a town of the Alliance and another one of the Horde npcs will give missions to eliminate npcs of the opposite side. Right now, pvp and faction vs faction fights are still not implemented, but soon they will be. Pvp will be rewarded with points, titles and unique objects and faction vs faction, using siege machines, with territories.

On the other hand, those players who enjoy exploring will fully enjoy World of Warcraft. It is a pleasure to cross the leafy forests of Ashenvale, the plains of The Barrens, or the evil Burning Steppes. Complete mapping of the game is really huge. And from level 40, it is possible to choose an own mount for traveling all around. Each race has his unique mount: humans have horses, dwarfes have goats, orcs have wolves and thus.

World of Warcraft beta has great stability and it-s really fluid. But overall, is an amusing game for playing perfect for Warcraft fans and MMOG newbies. There are many things left to be polished, like adding more classes, but Blizzard has assured all these things will be fixed. We will meet each other at Azeroth.
